Default quick throttle on 2012

own a 2010 and very happy except for the very areas the 2012 addresses.
better low/mid range, tweaked suspension, abrupt throttle response in slick, gearing,etc.,etc. i can live with those "problems". what really is a problem is the long twist throttle. i have severe arthritis in both hands, and its tricky for me to go full open,hold on and modulate the throttle. read a few posts that seemed to say the after market throttles were not that good. i am corncerned that the abrupt response on the 2010, along with an after market quick throttle, would be very jerky. i think deep down i am looking for excuses for trading up. it is a little early, as not enough 2012's out there yet, but i sure would like to hear from guys who traded up. i have a motosport, so i thinking it may be time for that nasty black.
